Breakfast buffet: manual of use and enjoyment
1) You're having breakfast, not shooting the remake of La Grande Bouffe. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but waking up with 6,000 calories doesn't give it that status.
2) Establish a strategy. Walk between the tables and take a mental (or real, come on) picture of everything there. After the sighting, you have to order. That happens by saying: “first I'm going to have some fruit and a juice. Later, I will go to the cheese area and blah blah.” Ordering in the head does not imply that we comply with the strategy, but it does mean that we feel bad if we do not.
3)Behave as if you were being recorded with a camera to be seen by family, friends, bosses and lovers. And nutritionist. That is to say: do not alternate sweet, salty, sweet, salty, sweet, salty and top off breakfast with a plate of bacon. It's not in a good tone.

4) That said, enjoy . A breakfast buffet is a little paradise, even though it now lives its low hours compared to the much finer a la carte breakfast. It amuses us to eat what we would never eat, it fills us with pride and satisfaction to drink two juices, three coffees and, if we see ourselves animated, continue with champagne. We are traveling: we can , but without becoming the character of Gluttony in Seven.
5) Do not fill the plate as if you were in a television contest and the prize was to cover it with the entire food pyramid. If you have to get up more times, do it. This way you will begin to burn some of those 6,000 calories as soon as possible. One way to see if you are doing the right thing is to ask yourself: “Would this photo look good on Instagram or Are you going to make me look like a being without control?.
6) Small portions, please. You don't want to fill your stomach with beans when you have about 50 different dishes left to try. Measure your strength. You also don't want to get to dessert feeling like the boa from The Little Prince.
And the sweets are back, brownie included
7) There's a fine line between getting up a lot and looking like a character from another contest whose prize is getting up a lot. Don't make your tablemates dizzy . Keep calm. We can establish as three or four the maximum times that we can go to renew the provisioning.
8) Make the regulatory queues. There the traveler is tested. Do not sneak in the line of tortillas. Don't be seedy. You haven't had tortillas with six different vegetables for breakfast all your life, you can last five more minutes. Don't block the flow of people either. If you doubt whether to eat salmon with or without pickles, go away, think and then come back. An easy rule to see where the queues begin is to look for napkins and cutlery. That is pole position.
9) You don't like grapefruit. Because someone peels it, cuts it and serves it for you, you won't like it anymore. You don't have to like it, in fact: it doesn't make you more worldly. Don't waste food.
10) Although all of you who read this would not dare to do so, you have to remember that food is never returned even if it is not touched , which is not tasted before being served and which is served with cutlery ad hoc, not with those for eating. But these are recommendations for other people, not for you who have a lot of world and many kilometers of buffet traveled.
11) Do not want to be smarter than anyone , something very carpetovetónico. Forget that fleeting thought of "I paid for this, so it's mine." You don't have to keep the pieces of brownie or that little sandwich that we have prepared of strangers in the bag. It will make a mess and you really won't want to eat it. This is not beating the system: beating the system is something much more important.
Enjoy in the least embarrassing way
